Nothing is more frustrating than opening a fresh bag of birdseed only to find unwelcome guests: pantry and birdseed moths. These pests, primarily Indian meal moths and Mediterranean flour moths, are notorious for invading dry goods, including pet food, grains and, of course, birdseed. If left unchecked, they can spread quickly, contaminating food and requiring extensive cleanup. Enter the RESCUE! Birdseed Moth Trap—a simple yet highly effective solution designed to attract and eliminate these persistent intruders.
The RESCUE! Birdseed Moth Trap specifically targets birdseed moths and pantry moths by using a pheromone lure that mimics the scent of female moths. Once male moths are drawn in, they become trapped, breaking the breeding cycle and reducing future infestations. Unlike some other pest control solutions, this trap is pesticide-free, making it a safe choice for use in homes, pantries and storage areas where food is kept.
Setting up the trap is effortless: Simply peel off the protective layer, fold it into shape and place it near affected food sources. The discreet, low-profile design allows it to fit seamlessly in cabinets and storage bins and near pet food areas. The sticky surface ensures that once moths enter, they don’t escape, providing peace of mind to homeowners and pet owners alike.
Pantry moths and birdseed moths thrive in warm, humid environments, making infestations more common in regions with moderate to high temperatures. However, these pests can be found across North America, from coastal states with year-round mild climates to colder regions where they hitch a ride indoors through infested products. Whether you’re in Florida, California or the Midwest, if you store birdseed or dry food, you’re at risk.
For those dealing with persistent moth infestations, the RESCUE! Birdseed Moth Trap is a game-changer. It’s an affordable, chemical-free and highly effective solution for stopping moth populations before they get out of control. Since pantry and birdseed moths are prevalent across the United States, retailers should strongly consider adding the RESCUE! Birdseed Moth Trap to their product lineup. For maximum visibility, create an additional merchandising display in the birdseed section.
Every retailer dreads the cycle of frustrated customers returning the wrong part, exasperated after multiple trips to the store, only to find out they’ve once again purchased the incorrect size. The plumbing department frequently contributes to this issue. Enter the Fluidmaster 523A Super Flapper, a simple yet innovative solution that eliminates guesswork and ensures a proper fit for most toilets.
One of the biggest pain points for customers replacing a flapper is determining whether their toilet uses a two- or three-inch valve. Many toilets manufactured before 2005 typically use a two-inch flapper, while newer models, especially high-efficiency toilets (HET), are likelier to have a three-inch flush valve. However, this isn’t always the case. The Super Flapper resolves this with its universal adjustable design. It easily adapts to both two- and three-inch flush valves, ensuring that customers don’t have to worry about picking the wrong size.
The Super Flapper is built for performance and water efficiency. Its adjustable dial allows users to customize the flush rate, optimizing water usage based on their toilet model. With the EPA’s WaterSense® program encouraging water-saving measures, homeowners can fine-tune their toilet’s performance to prevent water waste. By improving flush efficiency, this flapper helps homeowners lower their water bills while maintaining a strong and reliable flush, preventing common problems like weak or incomplete flushing.

Additionally, Fluidmaster provides a dedicated toll-free support line (800-631-2011) at which expert representatives assist with troubleshooting and installation concerns.
Our testers uniformly reported that the product performed as expected with minimal installation time. One noted that even the flapper’s packaging helps users determine the proper size. The Fluidmaster Super Flapper is a must-stock product for independent hardware store owners, so be sure to visit the company’s booth during the spring wholesaler markets.
